Mattel Disney PLANES Diecast: Singles Wave 3 – Spring 2014?
These cool sculptures may keep you from feeling cardboard
Don't throw out that cardboard box! You can instead use it to create a work of art, as Bartek Elsner has done with this series of cardboard sculptures.
The Berlin-based artist and designer makes use of cardboard, a material often taken for granted, to create really neat sculptures like a fireplace (with cardboard fire because, well...), giant boombox (you remember boomboxes, right?), a replica of a heart, a branch, and so on. These works of art certainly take a less conventional approach to recycling.
Personally speaking, cardboard is one of the most underrated materials out there given its ease to form into shapes. It's often been a go-to material for terrain-building in wargames and it's nice to see it receive a broader exposure through Elsner's projects.
